WESTLAKE, OH — Classes at 1st Team Actors Studio start Monday at Crocker Park. The new facility will host classes and weekend workshops for aspiring actors and actresses. Classes will continue through the summer.

“Crocker Park was the perfect location to launch our new business because it really has it all. Being a part of the Crocker Park neighborhood is idyllic for the people coming to our space for a class, workshop or casting call,” said Angela Boehm, owner of Angela Boehm Casting. “The nature of our business brings our actors out for short periods of time and the surrounding shops and restaurant are a bonus to anyone visiting us at 1st Team Actors Studio.”

The studio is at 156 Main Street, between Banyan Tree and Talbots. Classes will be held in the evenings and weekend workshops will be offered. Classes will include working actors, casting directors, agents and managers from around the nation.
